    Everton 1-0 Chelsea (ft)

    Goals: Steven Naismith, 45' (1-0)

     

    Everton claim their first win of the season thanks to Steven Naismith's header before half time.

    After a slow-paced first half, the second 45 minutes were frenetic and incident-packed, but Chelsea's failure to find the right final pass, coupled with a resolute Everton defence, meant the single goal was enough to win the game.
